Thanksgiving Service in 89 Years of Devotion to All That Is Good in Anaheim VOL. LXXXVIII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA ANAHEIM MAYO Phillips Backs Plan For $55,000 Survey Orange County Airport squabble, primarily over whether it shall be of large scale permitting landing and takeoff of jets or whether it will be just "a feeder field" for use by smaller planes, has taken several turns the past few days. Mayor A. J. Schutte of Anaheim opposes any possible move by the Orange County Board of Supervisors to limit the proposed new county airport to "a feeder field" because of pressure from Newport Beach and Costa Mesa officials and the Irvine Co. In other words, the southern end of the county opposing an improvement contemplated for the northern area but benefitting the whole county because of its strategic advantage. Mayor Schutte expresses the belief that a countywide survey should be conducted to determine the present and future air transportation and cargo needs before the supervisors make any decision on the size of the runways or the type of aircraft for the proposed new county airport. The Anaheim mayor adds that as far as he knows no Anaheim city official has been contacted in regard to future plans for the airfield, but says he plans to ask the Anaheim City Council to study the action before the supervisors, and to protect Anaheim's interest in any future decision. the southern end of the county opposing an improvement contemplated for the northern area but benefitting the whole county because of its strategic advantage. Mayor Schutte expresses the belief that a countywide survey should be conducted to determine the present and future air transportation and cargo needs before the supervisors make any decision on the size of the runways or the type of aircraft for the proposed new county airport. The Anaheim mayor adds that as far as he knows no Anaheim city official has been contacted in regard to future plans for the airfield, but says he plans to ask the Anaheim City Council to study the action before the supervisors, and to protect Anaheim's interest in any future decision. Mayor Howard Cornwell of Fullerton also favors a thorough survey on a countywide basis before any action is taken on the supervisory level, adding that it is time that Orange County city officials awaken to the fact that the future Orange County Airport is of vital importance to the county as a whole and not just the "local" concern of any individual cities. Mayor Cornwell said neither he nor his city officials have been invited to take part in the airport controversy, but that he is certain the question will be brought before the Fullerton City Council shortly. The Board of Supervisors had planned to hire a survey firm to determine the county's airfield needs by a $40,000 research program until the Irvine Co., Newport Beach and Costa Mesa authorities threw up a solid wall of resistance to any plans to extend the Orange County Airport runways beyond 7,500 feet. Would Curb Operations Such a limit would put the airport in the "feeder type," dependent upon Los Angeles and other nearby metropolitan terminals instead of providing the county with an international jetliner airfield capable of handling all types of commercial and military aircraft, something which, it is pointed out, would be helpful to the missile and electronic industry in the northern end of the county. Mayor Schutte's idea of a survey received added credence in the latest development by which a multi-plan of study for the airport facilities and air space is being considered by the Orange County Board of Supervisors, possibly with action Tuesday. Three plans for the study are before the board, although Supervisor William Phillips, airport Little Notes By ED-E. HERWIG (Managing Editor) Let's commune a bit with Thanksgiving. The Pilgrims landed on the granite boulder at Plymouth Rock on the rugged Northeast Atlantic Coast between Massachusetts Bay and Cape Cod on Dec. 21, 1620. That first winter was one of privation and desperation; but the harvest of 1621 was an occasion for much rejoicing. So, the little community gathered to listen to their leaders express thanks and to plead for further blessings. That was really the first Thanksgiving Day. However, two autumns passed before a formal proclamation was issued by Gov. William Bradford who had succeeded John Carver as governor of Plymouth Colony. Gov. Bradford was an able leader. In the quaint phraseology of those days, he proclaimed as follows: "To all ye Pilgrims' Inasmuch as this year an abundant harvest of Indian corn, wheat, peas, beans, squashes and garden vegetables, and has made the forests to abound with game and the sea with fish and clams, and inasmuch as he has protected us from the ravages of the savages, has spared us from pestilence and disgrace."

"Four years ago," Strachan said "Anaheim and Fullerton we about the same size, population wise. Two years ago Santa Ana." Mayor Schutte's idea of a survey received added credence in the latest development by which a multi-plan of study for the airport facilities and air space is being considered by the Orange County Board of Supervisors, possibly with action Tuesday. Three plans for the study are before the board, although Supervisor William Phillips, airport committeeman, has announced he favors the plan submitted by the combined firms of Daniel, Mann, Johnson & Mendenhall and Booz, Allen and Hamilton. That plans carries an estimated cost of $38,000 to $55,000, depending on how far the county wants to go. Phillips said. Another plan, submitted by a (Continued on Page 2) 13,696 Students in Anaheim Hi Schools Supt. Paul Cook reports enrollment in the eight schools within the Anaheim Union High School totals 13,696, with an average attendance of 13,540. Average daily attendance for adult evening high school is 568, with home teaching A.D.A. being 12.95. Anaheim High School is first, with 2,791 students enrolled; Western High school second, with 2,506; Orangeview Junior High third, with 2,386; Brookhurst Junior High, 2,136; Framont Junior High, 1,699; Trident Junior High, 759; Walker Junior High, 681. "To all ye Pilgrims' Inasmuch as the great Father has given us this year an abundant harvest of Indian corn, wheat, peas, beans, squashes and garden vegetables, and has made the forests to abound with game and the sea with fish and clams, and inasmuch as he has protected us from the ravages of the savages, has spared us from pestilence and disease, had granted us freedom to worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience; now I, your magistrate, do proclaim that all ye Pilgrims, with your wives and ye little ones, do gather at ye meeting house, on ye hill, between the hours of 9 and 12, on Thursday, November ye 29th, of the year of our Lord one thousand, six hundred and twenty-three, and the third year since ye Pilgrims landed on ye Plymouth Rock; there to listen to ye pastor and render Thanksgiving to ye Almighty God for all his blessings." Signed by William Bradford. For a long time Thanksgiving was a "movable festival," subject to occasional oversight, dependent upon the memories or activities of the proclaiming authority. After George Washington designated Thursday, Nov. 26, 1789, as a suitable date for appropriate exercises, several unsuccessful attempts were made to stabilize the days he proclaimed as follows: a look into the future at the regular monthly meeting of the organization Thursday night at the Anaheim Bowl. When called upon to give managers' annual report Strachan said he was going to forego a view of the year and present a plan for the future. "Four years ago," Strachan said. "Anaheim and Fullerton we were about the same size, population wise. Two years ago Santa Ana outranked Anaheim, population wise. Now Anaheim is twice the size of Fullerton and outrank Santa Ana and is now the largest city in Orange County. This did 'just happen,' Strachan said. "Happened because of your strong leadership, careful planning, good tax structure and willing cooperation from industrial and business leaders," he told the group. Growth Not Over "But the growth is not overheated we continued. We have much used developed land suitable for industry. We have a strong city planning and zoning program and excellent cooperation with city and county officials. The Chamber of Commerce proud of the leadership it has taken in bringing selective and outstanding industry to Orange County and the Anaheim area." "We cannot keep this reputation by standing still," he concluded. A strong program is planned for next year, to include better bus transportation within the city consideration for a city airport, a convention auditorium."
